With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 33 Martial Arts School Ranking Tournament

Luo Guanyun stood on one leg on the wooden stake, arms crossed, and said smugly:

"Do you understand the principle of 'all's fair in war'? In real combat, it's never about who has the higher stamina or who has the better punches."

Instead, it was full of uncertainties both inside and outside the ring. I told you I was only using my fists to bluff you, and you actually believed me, hahaha.

"Come on up and continue, this time I'll only use my feet."

Meng Chuanfei got into position on the stake:

"Please, Master Luo, this time I'll just dodge, I won't retaliate with my cannon punch."

"You've even learned to apply what you've learned to other situations! You're asking for a beating!"

……

11pm late at night.

Today's study session is over. Meng Chuan was like a spring all night long. No matter how much pressure Luo Guanyun applied, he was able to unleash his potential and fight back.

"Phew, I'm so tired."

Meng Chuan focused his mind and opened the panel to take a look.

Martial Arts

[Cannon Fist: Mastery (8%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Break Trait: Critical Strike (Basic)]

[Body Technique]

[Step by Step: Mastery (2%) - Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Lightness (Beginner)]

"After a night of instruction from Master Luo, I progressed from proficiency to mastery, just as I had expected."

"I practiced the Cannon Fist a lot all night, but only increased my proficiency by a single digit. It seems that the difficulty of cultivation does increase significantly after mastering a martial art."

With the Martial Arts Limit Break panel, Meng Chuan can intuitively see his martial arts growth progress.

Luo Guanyun walked over, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand.

"Come on, Chuan'er, drink this."

Before the bowl was even placed in front of him, Meng Chuan could smell a strong herbal aroma.

"This is a medicinal powder made from Dragon Tendon Strengthening Bone Grass. After brewing it, swallow it. Depending on the individual's situation, it can improve bone toughness to some extent. The medicine is most effective when taken right after martial arts training, while the fascia is still tight and the bone gates are not yet closed."

Although he didn't understand anything about bone resilience, he was sure it would be good for him. Master Luo wouldn't harm him. Meng Chuan took the drink and drank it all in one gulp.

It tastes bitter and hard to swallow at first, but leaves a slightly cool aftertaste mixed with a faint bitterness.

Seeing that Meng Chuan drank it all in one gulp, not caring at all about the taste, Luo Guanyun smiled with satisfaction.

"This medicine is bitter and cold in nature, but it has a certain effect on improving the body's structure. I'll try it when I get up tomorrow and practice boxing."

Upon hearing what Luo Guanyun said, Meng Chuan was greatly alarmed.

He once saw a medicine that could improve physical constitution on the Martial Arts Association's shopping website. It was snapped up in a flash and then kept showing as "restocking".

He didn't even see the price clearly because he hadn't counted the 8 followed by a bunch of zeros.

Luo Guanyun seemed to have anticipated Meng Chuan's surprise, and said with a smile:

"Several material possessions are nothing to worry about."

“Master Luo, this item is far too valuable. I am unworthy to accept it.”

"No matter how good the things are, they are still used by people, aren't they? You are my only disciple, so rest assured and there's no need to say more."

Meng Chuan didn't know how much the Dragon Tendon Strengthening Grass cost, but it was definitely a price he couldn't afford.

"Master Luo, what is the value of this item? I cannot afford it now, but I will repay you in the future."

Luo Guanyun said, "No need. You can talk about it when you have mastered your skills. Just don't forget to carry forward the Primordial Spirit Thunder Technique."

Meng Chuan was deeply moved upon hearing this, as Luo Guanyun's intention was no different from giving it to him.

"Master Luo's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and Meng Chuan will never forget it!"

Luo Guanyun waved his hand:
"You're a good kid in every way, except you're too serious. Giving you the drink is like giving it to you, so don't feel too guilty. I just value your talent and want to pass on the true skills of the Luo family."

Although Master Luo appeared indifferent on the surface, Meng Chuan kept this kindness deep in his heart.

"By the way, don't tell anyone about you taking the bone-strengthening medicine, to avoid causing any trouble."

"Meng Chuan understands."

"It's been a while since you went to the martial arts school, hasn't it? Go there tomorrow morning to have your Qi and blood tested."

“Yes, Master Luo, I was just thinking about that too.”

Luo Guanyun nodded and continued:
"The Yong'an Martial Arts School ranking competition will be held in Beilin District next spring. I plan to let you compete in the junior group. Make the most of this time to practice and bring me honor."

The martial arts ranking competition is held every year at the beginning of spring. On the one hand, it is to facilitate mutual exchange and improvement among martial arts schools, but more importantly, it is to determine the allocation of resources among martial arts schools in the new year.

Top-ranked martial arts schools not only attract more students, but also help with enrollment in the new year.

They will also receive various resources from the Martial Arts Association. For example, the Infinite Martial Arts Hall was number one last year. Not only did the number of students increase dramatically, but the Martial Arts Association also paid the rent for the entire building.

"Meng Chuan will certainly live up to your expectations."

"However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The scores of the underage group only account for 20% of the total score. The final ranking mainly depends on the strength of the gym owner."

To be honest, all the other martial arts school owners combined wouldn't be a match for me.

Luo Guanyun's words were full of arrogance.

"Understood, Master Luo. I will do my best."

"Well, don't relax too much. After all, you haven't been at the martial arts school for long. If your qi and blood don't reach the third level during tomorrow's test, you probably won't be able to convince the others."

"Don't worry, Master Luo, I've definitely broken through to level three. Who else but me can win the martial arts tournament?"

Meng Chuan was quite confident about this. When he mastered the Cannon Fist, he could feel his blood and qi surging, and he was almost breaking through to the third level.

Today, I made another breakthrough, and I must have entered the third stage of Qi and Blood Barrier!
“Very good. After all, it’s a competition representing the martial arts school. The winner will receive a prize. If the outcome is predetermined, there will probably be rumors within the school.”

"Then you'll prove them wrong with your abilities."

Meng Chuan nodded and said:

"It's Master Luo."

The next day, it was dawn.

On the rooftop, Meng Chuan finished meditating cross-legged and prepared to perform one last round of Cannon Fist before going downstairs.

I needed to get to the martial arts gym early today, so my rooftop boxing practice ended a little earlier.

In an instant, Meng Chuan suddenly stood up and started punching, his fists moving with his feet in quick succession, making the whole process increasingly smooth and natural.

After finishing his practice, Meng Chuan checked his martial arts panel as he went downstairs.

[Cannon Fist: Mastery (8%) → (10%) Awaiting Limit Break]

Indeed, practicing boxing on the rooftop is remarkably effective. I increased my proficiency by two percent in just two hours. Although it wasn't as fast as last night at Master Luo's house, it's still quite impressive.

Meng Chuan suspected that this was also related to the medicine he had taken last night. His physical constitution was already considered above average in the lower-middle class, and now it might be considered average.

After all, he did feel that his movements were more coordinated when he practiced boxing today.

"Improving my physical attributes is just icing on the cake for me; acquiring more traits is what I need to do most."

Meng Chuan felt that even those with superior innate talent could not progress as fast as he was at this moment, and this was only part of the function of the certificate being permanent.
